Tyson Fury reopens door to Anthony Joshua fight as tournament talks continue

Tyson Fury has claimed he would "love" to face Anthony Joshua but is unsure his rival is keen to accept the fight.

The 'Gypsy King' is currently without an opponent after undisputed fight talks with Oleksandr Usyk collapsed, as the pair disagreed following public demands from the WBC champion. Now the Brit is eyeing a return to the ring but is struggling to tie down a concrete option after failed attempts at luring Andy Ruiz Jr and Zhilei Zhang into a UK stadium fight.

Fury has always been linked with fellow British star Joshua with the pair once again looking set to meet late last year, but 'AJ' missed the champion's self-imposed contract deadline. However the 34-year-old has still insisted the fight could take place in a similar way to his failed fight with Usyk.
